AFR don't find UTF-8 characters in UTF-8 Files without BOM !
Posted: Sat Sep 12, 2009 7:26 pm
Hello,
I would like to make a find&replace for a batch of files looking for utf-8 character in UTF-8 without BOM files (so ANSI files contening utf-8 characters).
AFR go through the file only in ANSI mode and don't try to find character matching.
Exemple:
Try to find the character "é" on a file save as UTF-8 without BOM. AFR will find nothing.
But if i add BOM to the file, now he found it. So I suspect AFR to parse the file in ANSI only and not trying to match to special characters which are not ANSI (as it should do to detect UTF-8 file without BOM)
So my question:
Do you know how too use AFR with UTF8 without BOM files ?
This is a critical problem, i think.
Thanks.
Tom.
